Rei says in his first post he's been doing Burning Man since 2002, and I'd think eplaya readers would start from a basis of trust that he knows what's appropriate or inappropriate at the event -- if they were intelligent & rational people, that is. Plenty of people identify their camps, art projects & themselves as coming from a particular place or culture.

That said, when you deal with some people from San Francisco, you might encounter a unique kind of racism. Good luck.

ha. the sad part is i know. I know a troll when I smell one. I was just nibbling at bait. This is why i avoid these conversations in the real world. I hereby check out! thanks.

what does that make me according to the law of return? shit outta luck, or Very Lucky, depending on your viewpoint on zionism.

I'm against it, personally, and am ashamed of the israeli government, and the more than enabling population. no, i am not a Lubovitcher, and am not waiting for rebbe schneerson to return, again.

what kills me is the racial question to being jewish....Jews and Gentiles alike grant it some kind of Genetic Pre-Dominance, yet ask Rod Carew, or a Japanese Rabbi if they are from the Same Stock and chances are they will reply with a hearty "oy"...

more importantly, the moment a "jew" begins to question or criticize mama israel, the shit flies and the wagons circle.

i will now be called the cliched "self-hating" jew by my detractors...

and i am not a racist, i am an anti-social darwinist....take that as you like it.

and one-eye, my i.q. is none of your business, i mean, golly, we just met and you havent rubbed my toes yet.

Isn't "zionism" really a myth created by jews to make people afraid of them. (turn the other ass cheek)

I don't think you can be ashamed of something if you don't feel part of it.

next time you have your father in front of the camera, as you begin to take the photo, instead of saying smile say... HOLOCAUST. If he smile's does that mean he is a self-hating jew?? (please don't take offense, any jew will do)

Simon, isn't there some kind of history to that name (Simon)? sumtin' about Saint Peter.

And I'm sure that Bob is gonna say again that I am "The Bully of eplaya"......

I must say I am totally proud of Simon.

HE HAS BIG BALLS.

Almost as big as mine.

Maybe more so.

(no reference to our persons)

being called a "Racist" on eplaya is troubling.

Especially for pointing out the reality of what Israel is actually doing in the middle east that has caused so many problems in the world.
Americans don't get the news of what is actually happening in the middle east, let alone what is happening in Palestine.
It is really a shame.
ALL BURNERS that know me personally know that by farI am not a racist.never the less, it does not matter.
The point of this thread has gone WAY OFF COURSE.
It would be nice if it did get back on course, but at this point, it just does not make a difference.
As I have said earlier "rei_dishon made an excellent attempt to reach out to me and should be commended for it".

However; I did post, Posting in the title of the OP thread " Israeli Burner" was a dangerous thing to do.

Don't understand my point? Not my problem.

Posting a title like that on this board or any board on the internet no matter what board it is or what part of the world it is posted on makes it a problem and creates a HUGE "Flame war" no matter what.

Anyone can make me the "Scape goat" but I can handle it.
Fact of the matter is, what Israel is doing right now in real time in Gaza and Palestine IS WRONG AND IRRESPONSIBLE FOR A SO CALLED WORLD LEADER by any standard.

That is THE FACT.

Be mad at me all anyone likes....It is still the fact.

Not a good Idea to start out a thread title in the way this thread title was started out.

Do it on any message board and you will get the same or worse response.

It's human nature.

Just the way it is.

Why do it?

Unless that is the response you want to get?

Like I said, blame me if you like...it's all good, I just post the facts best I can.

Cheers and hope to still get that beer on the playa if it is really sincere.

Your point becomes very dull and uninteresting. As a matter of fact I am sure someone won't post here because the manner in which you attacked this guy because YOU got some kind of chip on your shoulder. You seem very angry and upset and wish to vent here. All I am saying is THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE. "Don't understand my point?"

Finally I don't know if you are a racist, but you have sounded, in this thread, not like someone I would want to meet on the Playa.

You misquote me. I said you were the de facto moderator of the eplaya, that both of you assholes hijacked this thread for sake of nothing to do with Burning Man, and that you would insist on having the last word.

How about starting your own thread on what you hate, and why? I'm sure you must have a long list.
